How to test

If you've followed all of the test cases, the private network used for OpenStack instances is 10.0.0.0/24. The purpose of this functionality is to be able to assign a pool of floating public IP addresses to instances, as well.

The details of this test case are a bit specific to the environment you are using to test. For this documentation, we're going to assume that the the OpenStack server's public interface is on the 192.168.122.0/24 subnet. We are going to take an unused address from this subnet, 192.168.122.150, and define it as a floating IP address to be used by OpenStack.

VM limitationsNote if running openstack within a VM, then the floating address will not be accessible from outside (probably due to the iptables NAT being bypassed by the bridge (ebtables) rules within the VM)

Check for new errors in the logs:

$> grep -i error /var/log/nova/*.log

If you would like, you can now disassociate and release the address assigned for testing.
